Job Description

They will lead the development of scalable catalyst manufacturing processes by translating laboratory formulations into kilogram-scale production, optimizing catalyst composition, support materials, synthesis, shaping, and quality control to maintain catalytic performance, mechanical integrity, and compatibility with reactor integration and fluidized-bed operation.


Qualifications
  • PhD in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry, or a related discipline.
  • Strong knowledge of heterogeneous catalysis, catalyst synthesis, and catalyst characterization.
  • Experience in catalyst scale-up, formulation development, and shaping technologies (e.g., pellets, beads, extrudates, magnetron sputtering, or spray drying) is preferred.
  • Familiarity with catalyst manufacturing processes, quality control, and pilot-scale production is an advantage.
  • Experience with catalyst characterization techniques such as XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, TPR, TPO, Raman, or XPS is desirable.
  • Knowledge of reactor engineering and catalyst performance evaluation, particularly under high-temperature reaction conditions, is preferred.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
